OpenRC install-kernel?

FastTurtle · Posted: Fri Mar 15, 2024 3:06 am Post subject: OpenRC install-kernel?

I do have the -systemd -systemd-boot dracut and grub flags set but not sure from the handbook how the command is structered as the only example the give is for systemd

What I don't want to do is use Genkernel again to create the kernel config so any help is appreciated.

Thanks Andrew.

logrusx: As stated and that Andrew clarified, I wasn't finding an example of the installkernel command for openrc.

Used Gentoo over a decade ago and they had multiple examples if there were two different ways of doing things.

Looking at what Andrew wrote, it appears that many of the docs need to be cleaned up. There's no reason to list systemd methods for the command unless you need to configure something. Same for the openrc format, so a bit more clarification such as

Configuration Needed for systemd: xxx-xxx-xxx or openrc: ccc-ccc-ccc in code boxes would help reduce confusion.

Of course, having not followed how Gentoo does things over that decade is like making the jump from Win3 to Win11. Simiar enough to use but confusing as heck when trying to figure things out and there is no "Gentoo for Dummies" to help.

So that's what it's supposed to do - have to check it.

Not sure if I'm an idiot or just blind but it looks to me as though Links is the cause of many of my documentation issues. What appears to be happening is that any code box is not displaying all of the text and when I click on the code box in firefox, it highlights the entire page so something is wrong with either the page or links that's causing it to not display things. This applies to any of the code boxes and if that's the case, then I suspect it's a closing tag that was forgoten. Nothing I can do about it at this time.

One thing I'm thinking is the dist-kernel flag though I'm looking at using the binary kernel. Might solve the issues I'm having by simply going with the hybrid-solution in order to get it up and running.
